Ultimate Ice Cream makes their own sweet stuff and it is just heavenly. Lots of choices from fruity to savory (bacon ice cream). The flavor selection changes often as they look for fresh ingredients and mix things up frequently. The girls who scoop there are always pleasant and let you taste before deciding on your flavors. What a great place... More

They have amazing flavors like bleu cheese caramel, zuma chocolate, honey, etc. The ice cream is made on site and the staff is so sweet.

This place is worth looking for! Your GPS will put you at an Italian restaurant, but the ice cream is behind this strip mall! The flavors are awesome! I got cappuccino stout....crazy mix, but crazy good. I was amazed at all the different flavors, and wish I lived closer so I could try some of the different flavors offered! Worth... More

I'd hate to count how many times I've been here. They also have a location on Charlotte Street in Asheville and in downtown Marshall, up on Madison County, NC. The constantly have a varying array of flavors, some very interesting. My favorite is the Molasses Gingerbread. My wife loves their Appalachian blackberry.

Tiny place, kind of hard to find. Unusual and interesting flavors. I am a big time ice cream lover; this ice cream is good, but not great.

Everything you could want from a local homemade ice cream shop! In North Carolina friendly fashion the servers started up a conversation with us while patiently waiting for us to make up our mind. For other out-of-towners, look for the more prominent Greek restaurant, then off to the side and in a rear row of retail shops is this wonderful... More

The staff is very, very friendly and eager to let you try any and all of their unique flavors. Very good experience. This placed is tucked away, practically out of sight from the road. Plug... More
